Karen,

It has deteriorated around here, but it cuts both ways. After dragging the discussion of race vs ethnicity in genetic medicine back to 'firing' Dr Summers, Mary ends with this line:

I still think Dr Summers should resign and I still don't like your politics. So there.

A very astute and mature don't you think?

Since we were now discussing free speech I asked if:

Should Robert Byrd resign?

She responded by stating that:

Absolutely not. He is a great American. He is a patriot. I happen to agree with him, but even if I didn't agree with him, I should put my life on the line to allow him to present his views. This is very fundamental to democracy.

Then I respond - and according to you am starting a food fight.

Personally I would not put my life on the line to defend hate speech, but then thats just me.

John
